Whether you’ve lived in the desert for years or are just visiting, there are a few things to know about proper desert skincare that is different from other climates. Besides the obvious need for extra moisturizer and aloe vera, Arizona skincare routines require a little more attention.
At Arizona Sun, we’re known for the unique ingredients we use from plants that are native to the Sonoran Desert. Our sun and skincare products are made from 44 different natural cacti and plants from the southwest. The healing properties that come from plants such as cacti, sage, aloe vera, and jojoba are what make our moisturizer and sunscreens unlike any other. When braving the heat this summer, you might also need aloe-based sunburn relief products with the elements of the desert in mind.
Summer is in full swing here in Arizona and we’re doing what we can to avoid prolonged time in the sun. It’s not always easy living in the desert but we know how to make the most of these scorching hot temps. Sunrise hikes, afternoons in the pool, and Arizona skincare make these few short months fun!
By now, you’ve probably been told that sulfates are bad for your hair. Whether it’s your hairdresser, a friend, or you’ve just read about it online, you’ve likely been given a few reasons why you should look for a sulfate-free shampoo. Sulfates cause damage, dry out your hair, and strip your hair of its natural oils, among other things. Rather than just grabbing any sulfate-free bottle next time you’re shopping, save yourself a trip to the drugstore and order from the experts at Arizona Sun. Our shampoo is not only free of sulfates, it also has plenty of soothing and nourishing ingredients you won’t find anywhere
You’ve probably noticed how much we like to talk about the ingredients in our products on our blog. That’s because we pride ourselves on using ingredients native to Arizona that are excellent natural moisturizers. Saguaro Cactus Seeds are native to Arizona and are found in just about all of our skincare and suncare products. The extract from cactus is antioxidant-rich, perfect for moisturizing and restoring skin and hair to its natural beauty.
Summer is coming and we’re gearing up here at Arizona Sun! Down here in Scottsdale, where the summer heat reaches well beyond 100 degrees all summer long, being well prepared is key. Even if your skin tans nicely and you rarely get burnt, making sun protection a part of your daily routine is vital to staying healthy in the long run. Premature aging, wrinkles, sunspots, and skin cancer can all result from too much sun exposure.
While many spas and salons have opened back up in Arizona, plenty of establishments are playing it safe and continuing to stay closed due to COVID-19. Even though you can likely find a salon or spa open near you, Arizona Sun highly encourages at-home spa treatments due to the spike in cases throughout the state. Fortunately, we have all the Arizona skincare products to make an at-home spay day fun, relaxing, and cost-effective!
Hopefully, everyone is past their first sunburn of the year, especially if you’re in Arizona where it’s felt like summer for nearly two months now! If you haven’t yet been burned, make this the summer where you commit to a proper suncare routine. With Arizona Sun, we make this easy with our four steps for treating and avoiding another sunburn this summer. With just a few sunburn relief products and a quality sunscreen, you can turn around your skincare routine. Take it from us, your skin will thank you for decades to come!
Sometimes, even if we put on sunscreen or relegate ourselves to the shade, we are bound to get a little sunburnt. Whether we missed a spot or went too long without reapplying, it happens to the best of us. Then it becomes necessary to apply some sort of sunburn relief. There are plenty of products and home remedies meant to address this, so here’s a bit of a breakdown of the options available.
A beauty gift basket might seem like a very cliched gift or a mindless thing you get someone. However, if you get the right basket it can actually become quite a thoughtful present. After all, everyone wants to feel more beautiful and to be able to pamper themselves. Here are a few different situations in which you might want to give out these gift baskets to other people.
Moisturizing your skin is always important. That’s true at any time of the year no matter where you are. Here in Arizona, in the arid desert, it might be a bit more important. Many folks all over are using more moisturizer than ever. That could be due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which as of this writing, is still going on. That means that people are washing their hands more than they might have in the past, which could lead to dry skin and other problems. Our natural moisturizer can help.
Arizona Sun hardly limits its Arizona gifts and products to sunshine and summertime use. We love our winter days in Northern Arizona, Colorado, and all over the world where ski season occurs. Our Arizona gifts, like our LipKist Lip Balm and natural moisturizers, are the perfect addition to your après ski lifestyle.
All of our Arizona Sunscreen and sunblock products are developed right here locally, providing the best sun tan lotion ingredients available for skin care.

We are proud that all of our sunblock and sunscreen products are environmentally friendly and never tested on animals. Experience the Arizona Sun difference!
